Kick Out The Jams: Tales from Arson City

Interviews and live sets from the New Zealand music underground. This week, we check out the abrasive edge of Christchurch’s music scene.

Comparatively speaking, New Zealand’s a very underpopulated country. So for those making music that sits outside mainstream acceptance, creating venues, recording spaces, distribution labels and events becomes an inherently DIY collaborative process.

We head into the heart of Christchurch's underground music scene and meet the people behind The Dance Asthmatics, Melted Ice Cream records, Pagan House, Log Recording and Pavement Saw.
